A Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: "Crews from Kidsgrove and Newcastle cut a woman free from a vehicle following a collision which left her trapped by her injuries in the overturned car."

A Staffordshire Police spokesman said: "We were called to reports of a road traffic collision on the A53 Whitmore Road at around 3.40pm today.

"The two vehicle road traffic collision has resulted in one woman being cut out of her vehicle, although fortunately her injuries appear to be minor.

"We have closed the road going in the direction of Newcastle whilst the fire and rescue service clear the scene. We would advise all drivers to steer clear of that area where possible due to an expected build-up of traffic as a result."
